Representaion During Books The Desert Spear (Demon Cycle #2)
The sun is setting on humanity. The night now belongs to voracious demons that prey upon a dwindling population forced to cower behind half-forgotten symbols of power. Legends tell of a Deliverer: a general who once bound all mankind into a single force that defeated the demons. But is the return of the Deliverer just another myth? Perhaps not. Out of the desert rides Ahmann Jardir, who has forged the desert tribes into a demon-killing army. He has proclaimed himself Shar'Dama Ka, the Deliverer, and he carries ancient weapons--a spear and a crown--that give credence to his claim. But the Northerners claim their own Deliverer: the Warded Man, a dark, forbidding figure. Once, the Shar'Dama Ka and the Warded Man were friends. Now they are fierce adversaries. Yet as old allegiances are tested and fresh alliances forged, all are unaware of the appearance of a new breed of demon, more intelligent—and deadly—than any that have come before.

Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsMINOR SPOILERS.Second Book Syndrome . . . thy name is THE DESERT SPEAR.*sighs*I had a lot of issues with this book. A lot, a lot.The first third of the book is told from an entirely new POV. By itself, that would've made me cranky, b/c, yeah, I get that Jardir is important, but I missed the old POVs. The POVs who won me over in the first place.In addition to being stuck with Jardir, the section didn't keep to a timeline. The chapters jump chaotically to the present fromI loved this book so much. Review to come when I can write one😁. Review slumps are the worst!!
[2.5 stars] With every passing week since finishing The Desert Spear, I find myself more and more dissatisfied with it. Something about many of the elements within the story just arent sitting right with me, and Id be the first to state that Im getting really tired of every other character having a backstory that includes rape, incestuous rape, and sodomy. I dont know if Brett is trying to make a grander point on who the real demons are, or if it just gives him kicks to write about that stuff,
3 StarsWhat a great ending for book 2. I struggled through the majority of this book but by the end it was worth it. The beginning alienated me, the middle drug on but the end brought it all together. I still have plenty of problems caring for many of the characters. I think thats my biggest hang up. The world is great, parts of it (especially some of the cultural dialogue) remind me of a less annoying Wheel of Time. Im continuing the series, definitely hasnt earned favorite status by any means
The Desert Spear is a totally different kind of sequel from what I expected after my experience with The Warded Man, luckily, still in a good way.Anyone who has read this book will know that theres no way Im not starting this review without talking about Jardirs POV. Brett really took a risk with his storytelling direction here. Most authorsunless its a standalone seriesalmost always continue their sequels from the POV of the previous main characters; could be immediately or years after what
I loved it and I'm so glad! There are so many mixed reviews, although, I'm trying to stay away from those and decide things for myself. I did enjoy the back story of Jardir and Abban, but I was glad to get back to the peeps I love the most; Arlen, Renna etc! I hope I love all of the books but we shall see! Happy Reading! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
For the past couple of days I've been trying to come up with an insightful review that would explain why this book completely changed my feelings for this series. And I'm sorry to say but... I failed.My dislike for this book was such a visceral thing that I cannot really explain it. I can however point things I didn't like: - The book starts with a new PoV for whom I cared little. He's also part of a middle eastern extremist type of culture, which I dislike immensely. There's lots of tiresome
